MOHAA

[Recordlord]

I am not a big gamer!! I bought MOHAA just to see what the big deal was. WOW I cant believe this game it is awesome.

Now anyone want to tell me what a shingle is?? I am at the beach and it tells me to get to the shingle. Well if I could make it past the beach I would probably find this shingle. I make it to the beach every time I exit the boat I am just shot to pieces trying to get off the **** thing any help would be appreciated. I have tried like 20 times now.

I guess you have to keep going till you make it. For any players having the same problems. Use cover, wait for fire to die down, run run run, and watch for bullet marks in the water and the sand. I also run towards where mortars just blew up and that gives you cover also. Spectacular game I just love it!!!

Yup, this took me like 10 tries to get to the shingle, it is just the ditch at the end of the beach (think of where the boys ended up in private ryan). The key is do hide behind those metal things and get to your medic cause he will fill you up with healing love.

I have also installed MOHAA, played a couple of levels and now I have to blow up a sub-marine. HOW do I play the beach landing mission??? Maybe It's a dumb question but I really want to play this level. Is it a singleplayer or multiplayer level??

little spoiler









Once you get to the shingle, you think you are relieved for a while, but noooooo, you have to go back to get bangalores.

The beach and the final stage are the toughest levels I ever played in a FPS.

breezer777,

The normandy invasion is a single player mission. You still have a ways to go. till you get their.

This game is great! You must run and hide behind metal spikes like posthumous said. You probably won't make it w/o health from the medic. Also after the bangalores blow run with your squad asap or it's much harder to make it to the bunkers. Definitely the most addictive game I've played since Half-life. You must play this game!

[InnovaZero]

Hell yeah it is addictive, the game is so realistic and looks sweet as hell too boot. Rushing the beach while bullets fly by you, ducking behind stuff to save your life. Mean while a grenade blows up near you, the water flys up and your men go flying in the air because they lost they're leg in the explosion.

Thios game is #^&#ing awesome!!!

Another thing I really like about this game is that there is no such thing as a "super final boss with super powers" to kill.
This is some kind of war simulation, there are no inexisting or "super prototypes" weapons.

I agree a good game.
I don't want to put a damper down on things, but I kind of expected almost real ww2 game, which for the most part it is.
A few things that I was disapointed on was the lack of real sense of team work. What I mean is this game at times, kind of reminds me of Wolfenstein in which you are the man and you take off to save the world.
And I am sorry WTF is the ending all about??
Ok the end missions great, but the end come on.
The people who have finished know what I'm talking about.
But a part from that in my mind a good attempt at a WW2 game, but I feal they could have done a bit better.
I have to say I think RTCW is a better online game, well for me anyway.
But everybodies different.
Please forgive me if I have given too much away for those who have not completed, it wasn't my intention to give anything away.
Happy Killing.

SKUZ,
I don't think you can compare the two games completely head to head, due to the fact they are two different games all together.
I have to amit I had a bit of trouble swollowing the demons, super soldiers etc etc.

RTCW looks real good and it's tons o fun. But you knew before you bought the game that there were, uh, bizzare and misplaced things for the era in the game. But you still bought it.

As far as the monsters go, nothing in RTCW scares me nearly as much as the Kleers do in Serious Sam. Seriously, those things gallop toward me as I hear the echoing hooves reverberate all around me and the hair on the back of my neck gets erect. At least my dear sweet wife consoles me afterward.:)

MOHAA. Wow! Almost the best game ever. Imho, not quite as good an experience as DEUS EX. Maybe because I love the multiple conspiracies present. EXCELLENT musical score. Huge maps. I read, and agree with, a review I read recently that pits MOHAA and RTCW against each other, for which one is 'better'. And I realize what their conclusion may offend some, and may not be fair or accurate, but it made me laugh. They said:

"MOHAA took RTCW out behind the wood shed and spanked it like an unwanted-red-headed-stepchild". I know, that's soooo evil to think. But I like black humour in the spirit of Monty Python, so I r'ed_otflmao for quite awhile :).

As far as endings of games go, not too many have impressed me. I mean there was half-life, which right now can't remember if I liked it or hated it. *shrugs* There was DEUS EX. Oh yeah, that's how an ending should be. There was RTCW. I'm indifferent on that one. Serious Sam's was real acerebral. Soldier of Fortune's was kinda unrealistic, but I still played it over and over. I suppose that were I to make a point on this here is what it would be: it's not the ending to a video game that makes it fun. It's getting to the end. It's taking out no less than 1000 of the enemy with nothing but headshots. It's setting booby traps so you can save your **** later with a dozen npcs chasing you right into your traps. It's watching the story unfold. It's letting yourself delve into a virtual world where you become the most powerful component therein.

I do admit that I like a really good ending, one reason I hail DEUS EX. But I don't let myself feel ripped off for the anticlimactic endings I've seen for years. Maybe I should. I would encourage developers to go the extra mile in creating a better ending and I look forward to those games that accomplish that. Perhaps when I begin writing my game I'll have a clear sense of purpose and vision to what the gaming community wants.

Playing the MOHAA demo I found the game to be far too slow for me. I much prefer quick deathmatchy type games than boring realism games. I know everyone else in the world is obessed with realism over gameplay (CS vs flf anyone?) but I don't get it. Why have a computer to play have fun with only to devote it to trying to mimick real life best as possible. I play on a computer to do what isn't possible in RL.

Realism is a whole thing I missed.
DOOM, Quake, Serious sam, aer all good fun games that see you charging headlong into battle with many enemies at once, testing your fighting skills rather than how much patience you have.

Also with realism, it extends how much luck can affect the game.
The number of times it took some people to complete certain levels just meant that in the end it could have been down to luck rather than trying to complete it in other ways.

Now I am not saying that games shouldn't be hard to complete, but if they are hard, it shouldn't be because you didn't get that lucky headshot.
